Austen Court by Taylor Wimpey

Description

This attractive development with its mature trees sits within an established residential area of Hilsea.

You can choose from 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and 2 & 3 bedroom houses so there's plenty of variety. Located at the northern end of Portsea Island, Hilsea was originally a small hamlet on the Portsmouth to London Road.

About the area
Hilsea is a beautiful place to set up home - originally a small hamlet on the Portsmouth to London Road, today it's a district of Portsmouth and has a lovely community feel along with good local shops, restaurants and facilities. Hilsea also has excellent transport links, with easy access to main roads and motorways, including the M27 for Fareham and Southampton, and the A3 straight to London.

Austen Court is an attractive development of 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and 2 & 3 bedroom homes so there's plenty of variety to suit everyone, from first time buyers and commuters to growing families and the newly-retired. Located amongst mature trees within an established residential area of Hilsea, approximately 3.5 miles from Portsmouth city centre, the development enjoys a delightful community feel and easy access to local amenities.

The cul de sac nature of Austen Court means there will be no through traffic, leading to a quieter, safer environment and a wonderful 'local neighbourhood' feel. A pleasing mix of 2 storey and 3 storey homes create visual interest, while each home comes with an allocated parking space, with 28 spaces in total. There is also storage space available for bikes, so residents can explore and enjoy the many cycleways in and around Portsmouth, including the picturesque cycle track at Alexandra Park, a short distance from the development.

Leisure facilities

You really will have no trouble at all filling your precious leisure hours in Portsmouth, whatever you’re looking for. There are a number of entertainment facilities to enjoy, including theatres and live music venues, and a wealth of fascinating naval heritage such as HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Museum.

Gunwharf Quays provides all the entertainment you could ever need, all in one location. Bored of shopping in the 95+ designer outlets? Why not have a drink or grab a bite to eat at one of the 30 cosmopolitan bars and restaurants, or catch the latest film at the 14 screen Vue cinema. Maybe you could try bowling at the 26 lane Bowlplex, or work out with views over the Portsmouth Harbour at the Twenty4Seven health and fitness centre. There’s certainly no risk of running out of things to do!

For lovers of the great outdoors, Alexandra Park is a short distance from the Austen Court, and provides the perfect green oasis of trees, flower beds and lawns to escape the bustling city life. The park also plays host to the Mountbatten Sports Centre, a modern sports facility including a 50 metre swimming pool and athletics and cycle tracks. For a fantastic family day out, just a short drive away is Southsea - the quintessential example of an English seaside resort.

Local shopping

Hilsea is well served by shops, with local convenience stores, a supermarket, chemist and post office within a mile of the development. Shopaholics will delight in the range of excellent shopping facilities nearby, including Cascades Shopping Centre in the centre of Portsmouth, which houses a wide range of high street and speciality shops in its bright and airy malls, such as Marks & Spencer, Next and The Body Shop. Of course, there is always the famous Gunwharf Quays for designer goods at bargain prices, while Cosham high street provides a quirky mix of independent and traditional retailers.
